Flash Modes and Example Shooting Conditions

The camera offers three flash modes. When setting up, make sure the distance between the camera and the subject (L) is set so that apparent face size fits the selected frame (guidelines) at about

1.8 meter. Minor adjustments to apparent face size can be made with the zoom.

Auto Flash ( )

The built-in flash fires at optimum brightness for a subject about 1.8 meter away. Use the v and V control buttons to set a negative EV value when the distance L is less than 1.8 meter, or a positive EV value when the distance is more than 1 meter. Be sure to take a test picture to check the results. This mode is suitable for indoor ID portraits in which the built-in flash is the main light source and a shadow-clearing flash is connected to the camera by synchronization cord.

Forced flash + manual exposure mode ()

You can manually set aperture and, shutter speed, and select one of seven flash intensity levels (2 0.5EV) for the built-in flash before shooting. This mode is suitable for shooting portraits in which the built-in flash acts as a trigger for the main light source, an external flash connected to the camera by synchronization cord.

Large-size synchronized flash

Synchronized flash

No flash + manual exposure mode ( )

In this flash mode, the aperture and shutter speed are set manually, and the built-in flash does not fire. The built-in flash does not fire. This mode is suitable for shooting indoors under stable light sources, such as

Preparing the Printer

Before using the printer for the first time, perform the following steps to insert the print cartridge and paper tray. These preparations are not required at every use. Perform them only when necessary.

Print packs

In order to print, a print pack designed for this printer (UPC-X46 series, or UPC-X34 series) (not supplied) is required. A print pack is a set consisting of print paper and a print cartridge.

Notes

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound print cartridge for printing. Doing so may produce incorrect printing results or damage the printer.

• Only use print packs designed for this printer.

• Always use sets of print cartridges and print paper that match in size. Using a print cartridge together with print paper of a different size may produce incorrect printing results or cause paper jams and other problems.

• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper will not make the image darker and may damage the printer.

• Avoid touching the printing surface of the print paper and the ink ribbon of the print cartridge, and avoid storing print packs in locations subject to high temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight. Fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or ink ribbon may lower the print quality.

• When removing partially used print cartridges and print paper from the printer for storage, store them in their original packaging.

Preparations

Page 17

To load the print paper

Note

Load the print paper into the paper tray.

Print paper

Riffle through the print paper before loading it with the printing surface (the side without imprinting) facing up. Make sure that the arrow on the protective sheet is pointing in the same direction as the arrow on the tray. You can load up to 25 sheets when using the UPC-X46 series and 30 sheets when using the UPC-X34 series.

Remove the protective sheet on the print paper.

Note

Be sure to keep the protective sheet as it is used when cleaning the inside of the printer.

Insert the paper tray into the printer until it clicks into place.

Do not touch the printing surface. Fingerprints or dust on the printing surface may lower the print quality.

Notes on loading the print paper

• Load UPC-X46 series print paper into the large paper tray and UPC-X34 series print paper into the small paper tray. Mismatch between the paper and tray sizes may result in a paper jam.

• Do not remove or insert the paper tray while printing is in progress.

• If the print paper does not feed automatically, the

lamp lights and a message displays. Pull out the

paper tray, and check for a paper jam.

• When loading additional print paper into the tray, make sure that the total number of sheets does not exceed 25 for the UPC-X46 or 30 for the UPC-X34 series. Do not load different types of paper in the tray together. Doing so may result in a paper jam.

• Do not write or print text on the print paper before printing. The printer may not be able to print on paper that has been written on. When writing on an image after printing, use an oil-based ink pen. Text from word processors cannot be printed on the print surface.

• Do not attach stickers or tape on the print paper before printing.

• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper will not make the image darker and may damage the printer.

• Do not fold or bend the print paper before printing. Doing so may damage the printer.

• When paper is ejected after printing, do not allow more than five sheets to accumulate in the paper tray. Doing so may result in a paper jam.

Notes on storage

• Avoid storage in locations subject to high temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.

• Do not store print paper sheets with their printing surfaces touching each other. Also, do not allow printing surfaces to remain in contact with plastic or rubber materials containing vinyl chloride or plasticizers for extended periods of time. Doing so may result in discoloration or bleaching.

• When removing unused print paper from the printer for storage, store it in its original packaging.

Level

Dark LightSubject

CYN-RED adjustment (R parameter)

You can adjust the cyan and red color components. The default is 0. Pressing B on the control button of the camera changes the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the red component value in the picture increase in the linear direction that the brightness increases as shown in figure

1. This adds more red as if a red light has been cast.

However, the maximum effective brightness value is

255. When the value becomes larger than 255, saturation

occurs. When this occurs, the saturated white area remains white even if the value is increased further in the plus direction. Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the red component value in the picture decrease in the linear direction that the brightness decreases as shown in the figure. Decreasing the brightness makes the red color darker and reduces the redness. The complementary color cyan (light blue) is added. In this case, the white area becomes bluish.

Page 46

MAG-GRN adjustment (G parameter)

You can adjust the magenta and green color components. The default is 0. Pressing B on the control button of the camera changes the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the green component value in the picture increase in the linear direction that the brightness increases as shown in figure 1. This adds more green as if a green light has been cast. However, the maximum effective brightness value is 255. When the value becomes larger than 255, saturation occurs. When this occurs, the saturated white area remains white even if the value is increased further in the plus direction. Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the green component value in the picture decrease in the linear direction that the brightness decreases as shown in the figure. Decreasing the brightness makes the green color darker and reduces the greenness. The complementary color magenta (reddish-purple) is added. In this case, the white area becomes slightly magenta in color.

YEL-BLU adjustment (B parameter)

You can adjust the yellow and blue color components. The default is 0. Except for some special specifications, this adjustment is not possible when B&W is selected. Pressing B on the control button of the camera changes the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the blue component value in the picture increase in the linear direction that the brightness increases as shown in figure 1. This adds more blue as if a blue light has been cast. However, the maximum effective brightness value is 255. When the value becomes larger than 255, saturation occurs. When this occurs, the saturated white area remains white even if the value is increased further in the plus direction. Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the blue component value in the picture decrease in the linear direction that the brightness decreases as shown in the figure. Decreasing the brightness makes the blue color darker and reduces the blueness. The complementary color yellow is added. In this case, the white area becomes yellowish.

DARK adjustment (D parameter)

You can adjust the dark parts. The default is 0. Pressing B on the control button of the camera changes the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the dark side of each of the RGB data increase simultaneously in the linear direction that the depth increases as shown in figure 2. This adds more depth. However, the maximum effective darkness value is 0. When the value becomes smaller than 0, saturation occurs. Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the dark side of each RGB data lighter and decreasing the darkness.

LIGHT adjustment (L parameter)

You can adjust the light parts. The default is 0. Pressing B on the control button of the camera simultaneously changes the R, G, and B parameters as shown in figure 1, making the light side of each of the RGB data increase simultaneously in the linear direction that the brightness increases. This gives an overexposed quality to the picture. Pressing b on the control button makes the light side of each of the RGB data darker, and gives you a picture that seems underexposed.

GAMMA adjustment (GM parameter)

You can adjust the gamma value. The default is 0. Pressing B on the control button of the camera increases the halftone of each of the RGB data in the direction that the brightness increases. Pressing b on the control button decreases the halftone of each of the RGB data in the direction that the darkness increases.

Adjusting the Print Quality

Page 47

SHARPNESS adjustment

You can adjust the sharpness of pictures. Pressing B on the control button of the camera changes the value in the plus direction from 0 to 1, 2 … 7, adding emphasis to edges in pictures. We recommend setting a small value when the print size is small.

SHARPNESS

SHARPNESS adjustment is a function for adding emphasis to edges in pictures. This function cannot be used to increase the resolution. It is intended for changing the sharpness. SHARPNESS can be used as a parameter to improve pictures, but increasing the sharpness too much will not produce a natural picture. Generally, the default setting is recommended. When a large print size is used and SHARPNESS is set to a large value, picture quality does appear to improve.

Contrast

In addition to the sharpness function, it is possible to add sharpness to the image by adding the contrast of dark and light. Contrast can be set using the DARK and LIGHT items in the menu screen. Increasing the DARK and LIGHT values in the plus direction increases the contrast, and a high contrast image can be obtained. The downside, however, is that increasing the contrast values in the plus direction diminishes the amount of information about white and black tones, and as a result, the white and black gradation becomes coarser. Thus, an appropriate contrast setting is required. We recommend setting the contrast to +2 or +3.

The values below each of the pictures are for the R, G, and B parameters. If, for example, you want to use the color tone on the top left in the figure above, set the B parameter to +3 because (RED, GREEN, BLUE) = (0, 0, +3).

This is a picture showing the BLUE parameter increased by 3 from the current state. The white saturated parts remain white and do not change. The subject appears a little lighter than in the current picture, and slightly blue.

Advice on adjusting color tones

The guide print function gives you a rough guide as to how to adjust the color tone. However, if you understand the following, you can use this function to its full potential. The guide print can also be used for black & white prints. Black & white pictures printed with this system are printed by overlaying the three colors cyan, magenta, and yellow to express gray. Therefore, a perfectly achromatic picture may not be obtained and colors may sometimes be visible. A black & white guide print can be used to adjust the balance of these three colors.

Complementary colors

Pictures are made up of the data of three colors (R data, G data, and B data). The color tone adjustment function can be used to change the balance of these three colors. When the R parameter is changed, the CYN-RED (cyan and red) indication appears on the LCD. Similarly, the MAG-GRN (magenta and green) indication appear on the LCD when the G parameter is changed, and the YEL-BLU (yellow and blue) indication appear on the LCD when the B parameter is changed. The complementary colors cyan and red, magenta and green, and yellow and blue are related. For example, increasing red makes cyan lighter and decreasing red makes cyan deeper.

Adjusting the Print Quality

Difference between selecting + and –

When you print a Guide Print-RGB with each of the RGB parameters for the center picture set to 0, two simulation pictures for each RGB parameter (with the respective parameter set to +3 and –3 and the remaining two parameters set to 0) are printed around the center picture. The following explains the meaning of the + and – symbols. The R data, G data, and B data that make up the picture data are digitized values representing the strength of light of each color. The + setting is for strengthening the light of the corresponding color. The – setting is for weakening the light of the corresponding color. Data (light) saturation can be obtained with the + setting. When you need a white background, this feature enables you to get the desired results without changing the white.

• Setting in the + direction

When the R parameter is set to +3, for example, the light of the red component is strengthened, giving the overall picture a tinge of red. Since the amount of light also increases at the same time, the brightness of the picture increases by the corresponding amount. However, some parts of the picture do not change no matter how much the light is strengthened. These include parts of the picture with absolutely no light components (such as pure green, cyan, and blue parts, their intermediate colors, and deep black parts), and parts of the picture with saturated light components (such as pure magenta, red, and yellow parts, their intermediate colors, and bright white parts).

Specific example 2: Adding yellow

To add yellow to the subject, we recommend setting the B parameter to a – value in the Guide Print-RGB. However, you need to understand that the concept of weakening the light involves adding a tinge of yellow to white parts. To avoid this, set a plus value for the L parameter that is equivalent to the minus value set for B parameter. This has the same effect as setting plus values for the R and G parameters without changing the B parameter. The point to note here is that the overall brightness increases.

• Setting in the – direction

When the R parameter is set to –3, for example, the light of the red component is weakened, giving the overall picture a tinge of cyan (the complementary color of red). Since the amount of light also decreases at the same time, the darkness of the picture increases by the corresponding amount. This setting differs from the + setting in that a tinge of cyan is added to parts in which light components are saturated such as parts of pure reddish-purple (magenta), red, and yellow or their intermediate colors and bright white. This occurs especially in cases where the background is white or the subject is wearing white clothes.

Specific example 1: Removing yellow

To remove yellow from the subject, we recommend setting the B parameter to a + value in the Guide PrintRGB.

Setting the Bluetooth Functions

Bluetooth wireless technology

The bluetooth1) wireless technology allows communication between various Bluetooth devices without using cables. Devices which can use this technology include computers, computers peripheral devices, PDAs, and mobile phones. This omnidirectional communication system enables communication even if the Bluetooth device is in a bag or if there are obstacles between the devices. Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has advanced security functions, such as scrambled frequencies and data encryption.

• When using the Bluetooth function, the distance between the camera and the printer you intend to connect must be within 10 m (33 feet) without obstacles.

used by Sony Corporation under license. The word Bluetooth is printed in plain text throughout this document.

Passkey Authentication

A passkey is used to authenticate two Bluetooth devices that have not previously been connected to each other. This is to create a trusted relationship between them. You need to enter the same characters or numbers (passkey) for each device in the passkey-authentication process. The UPX-C300 system uses a 4-digit number as a passkey. After the same passkey is set for the devices, the authentication process for connection must be performed. Some Bluetooth devices require a new passkey entry when the valid authentication period of the devices is expired, the log file is deleted, or the security setting is changed. Passkey entry may be required, depending on the device, each time you intend to connect. Once authentication of devices has been confirmed in the UPX-C300 system, registration of each device connection is stored in a log file. After that, you can connect the devices without entering a passkey. If you wish to change the passkey, first delete the log file from the connected device, then register the devices again for re-authentication. This “Passkey” is also referred to as a “Bluetooth passkey” etc. “PIN” is also used with the same meaning.

The “Basic Imaging Profile”

The “Basic Imaging Profile” (BIP) is the specifications used when sending or receiving still images between Bluetooth devices. The main features of the BIP enable sending or receiving images, and use of the remote shutter feature of a digital still camera. To connect with your printer, the Bluetooth device must be compatible with the “Image Push Feature” of the “Basic Imaging Profile” (BIP). Before using the Bluetooth device, check the Bluetooth and BIP specifications of the device.

Bluetooth Address

A 12-digit code consisting of the numerics 0–9 and the alphabetics (A–F) is assigned to each Bluetooth device. This is a specific code for each Bluetooth device, and is called a Bluetooth address or a Bluetooth ID. The Bluetooth address is for distinguishing each device, so the same code is not assigned to several devices, nor can the code be changed.

Changing the passkey settings

You can change the passkey as required. On the UPX-C300 and separately available UP-DX100 Digital Photo Printer, the same passkey has been set at the factory. For communication security, it is recommended to change the passkey for your system.

For details on changing settings, refer to the “Changing the Passkey” on page 54.

Maintaining System

Printer

Performance

To maintain system performance, be sure to read the following.

Camera

Locations of use and storage

Using or storing the camera in any of the following locations may result in a malfunction. Do not use or store the camera in such locations.

• Extremely hot or cold locations (operating temperature of 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F))

• Locations subject to prolonged periods of direct sunlight or near heating appliances

• Locations with excessive humidity or dust

• Locations exposed to rain

• Locations exposed to severe vibration

• Near sources of strong magnetism

• Near sources of strong electromagnetic waves such as TV or radio transmitters

Heat dissipation

Do not cover the camera (such as with a cloth). Doing so will increase the internal temperature and may result in a malfunction.

Transportation

When transporting the camera, be sure to pack it in the supplied carton and cushioning or equivalent packaging, and make sure it is not subject to severe mechanical shocks.

Precautions

• If you do not intend to use the printer for a long time, set the printer to standby mode and disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

• When transporting the printer, remove any accessories. Failing to do so may result in a malfunction.

Condensation

If the printer is moved from a location with low humidity to a warm location or placed in a room with a heater that causes steam and moisture to be generated, drops of water may form inside the printer. This phenomenon is referred to as condensation. If used in such a state, the printer will not work properly and may even malfunction. If there is a likelihood of condensation, turn off the power and leave the printer to stand for a while.

Cleaning

• Be sure to turn off the power and remove the power plug prior to cleaning.

• Use a blower to remove dirt and dust from the surface of the camera lens.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe off dirt from the exterior. If the exterior is extremely dirty, use a cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution to wipe off the dirt and then use a dry cloth.

• Do not use volatile substances such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, or insecticide because doing so may damage the finish and erase the indications.

Taking test pictures

Be sure to take test pictures beforehand to ensure that pictures can be taken normally.

Lens

Be careful not to bump into or press against the lens while shooting. Also, do not touch the lens surface.

Modes Flash et exemple de conditions de prise de vue

L’appareil-photo offre trois modes flash. Lors du réglage, vérifiez que la distance entre l’appareilphoto et le sujet (L) est réglée pour que le format apparent du visage corresponde au cadre sélectionné (lignes guides) à environ 1,8 mètre. Vous pouvez effectuer des petits réglages au format apparent du visage avec le zoom.

Mode Flash forcé + exposition manuelle ()

Vous pouvez régler manuellement l’ouverture, la vitesse d’obturation et sélectionner l’un des sept niveaux d’intensité de flash (2 0,5EV) pou le flash intégré avant la prise de vue. Ce mode est pratique pour les portraits avec le flash intégré agissant comme déclencheur pour la source principale de lumière, un flash externe raccordé à l’appareil-photo par un cordon de synchronisation.

Auto Flash ( )

Le flash intégré se déclenche avec la clarté optimale pour un sujet se trouvant à 1,8 mètre. Utilisez les touches de commandes v et V pour régler soit une valeur EV négative lorsque la distance L est inférieure à 1,8 mètre, soit une valeur EV positive lorsque la distance est supérieure à 1 mètre. Prenez une photo test pour vérifier les résultats. Ce mode est pratique pour les portraits d’identité en intérieur avec le flash intégré comme source principale de lumière et le flash de suppression des ombres raccordé à l’appareilphoto par un cordon de synchronisation.

Remarques

Préparation de l’imprimante

• Le fait de raccorder l’adaptateur AC alors que les piles sont dans l’appareil-photo ne permet de charger les piles. Pour recharger les piles, utilisez le chargeur de piles spécifiquement désigné.

• Les icônes de l’indicateur de pile sont optimisées pour les piles Sony Nickel Metal Hydride (typ. 2000 mAh / typ. 2500 mAh). Sachez que les piles risquent d’être déchargées sans indication lorsque d’autres types de piles sont utilisées.

Pour fixer le trépied

Vous pouvez fixer l’appareil-photo à un trépied à l’aide du filetage pour trépied situé en dessous de l’appareilphoto.

Remarque

Vissez fermement la vis du trépied. Si la vis est lâche, l’appareil photo risque de tomber. Par contre, s’il est serré avec trop de force, le filetage risque d’être endommagé. Vérifiez que la vis est insérée tout droit avant de la serrer.

Appareil-photo

Trépied

Avant d’utiliser l’imprimante pour la première fois, effectuez les étapes suivantes pour insérer la cartouche d’impression et le bac à papier. Ces préparatifs ne sont pas nécessaires à chaque utilisation. Effectuez-les seulement lorsque c’est nécessaire.

Kits d’impression

Pour pouvoir imprimer, il est nécessaire d’avoir un kit d’impression conçu pour cette imprimante (série UPCX46 ou série UPC-X34) (non fourni). Un kit d’impression est un set composé de papier d’impression et de cartouche d’impression.

Remarques

• Ne rebobinez pas le ruban d’encre et n’utilisez pas la cartouche d’impression rebobinée pour l’impression. Ceci risque de donner des résultats d’impression incorrects ou d’endommager l’imprimante.

• N’utilisez que les kits d’impression conçus pour cet imprimante.

• Utilisez toujours des kits de cartouches d’impression et de papier d’impression dont les formats correspondent. L’utilisation d’une cartouche d’impression dont le format ne correspond pas au papier d’impression risque de produire des résultats d’impression incorrects ou des bourrages de papier et d’autres problèmes.

• N’imprimez pas sur du papier d’impression usagé. L’impression d’une image deux fois sur le même papier ne la rend pas plus foncé et risque d’endommager l’imprimante.

• Evitez de toucher la surface d’impression du papier ainsi que le ruban d’encre de la cartouche et évitez de ranger les kits d’impression dans des endroits soumis à des températures élevées, de l’humidité, beaucoup de poussière ou à la lumière directe du soleil. Les traces de doigts ou la poussière sur la surface d’impression risquent de baisser la qualité de l’impression.

• Si vous retirez les cartouches et le papier d’impression partiellement utilisés pour les ranger, remettez-les dans leur emballage d’origine.

Préparatifs

Pour charger le papier d’impression

Remarque

Chargez le papier d’impression dans le bac à papier.

Papier d’impression

Eventez le papier avant de le charger avec la surface d’impression (côté sans marque) vers le haut. Vérifiez que la flèche sur la feuille protectrice pointe vers la même direction que celle sur le bac. Vous pouvez charger jusqu’à 25 feuilles en utilisant la série UPC-X46 et 30 feuilles avec la série UPCX34.

Retirez la feuille protectrice du papier d’impression.

Remarque

Gardez la feuille protectrice car elle sert pour le nettoyage de l’intérieur de l’imprimante.

Insérez le bac à papier dans l’imprimante jusqu’à ce qu’il encliquette en place.

Ne touchez pas la surface d’impression. Les traces de doigts ou la poussière sur la surface d’impression risquent de baisser la qualité de l’impression.

Remarques sur le chargement du papier d’impression

• Chargez le papier d’impression de la série UPC-X46 dans le grand bac à papier et celui de la série UPC-X34 dans le petit. Si le format du papier ne correspond pas à celui du bac, il risque de se produire un bourrage papier.

• Ne retirez pas et n’insérez pas le bac à papier lorsque l’impression est en cours.

• Si le papier d’impression ne se charge pas automatiquement, le témoin s’allume et un message s’affiche. Retirez le bac à papier et vérifiez s’il y a un bourrage papier.

• Pour charger plus de papier dans le bac, assurez-vous que le nombre total de feuilles ne dépasse pas les 25 pour la série UPC-X46 ou les 30 pour la série UPCX34. Ne chargez pas différents types de papier en même temps dans le bac. Ceci risque de produire un bourrage papier.

• N’écrivez pas et n’imprimez pas de texte sur le papier avant l’impression. L’imprimante risque de ne pas pouvoir imprimer sur du papier déjà écrit dessus. Pour écrire sur une image après l’impression, utilisez un stylo à encre à base d’huile. Un texte provenant d’un traitement de texte ne peut pas être imprimé sur la surface d’impression.

• Ne collez pas de stickers ni d’autocollants sur le papier avant l’impression.

• N’imprimez pas sur du papier d’impression usagé. L’impression d’une image deux fois sur le même papier ne la rend pas plus foncé et risque d’endommager l’imprimante.

• Ne pliez pas le papier avant l’impression. Ceci risque d’endommager l’imprimante.

• Lorsque le papier est éjecté après l’impression, ne laissez pas plus de cinq feuilles s’accumuler dans le bac à papier. Ceci risque de produire un bourrage papier.

Préparatifs

Remarques sur le rangement

• Evitez le rangement dans des endroits soumis à des températures élevées, de l’humidité, beaucoup de poussière ou à la lumière directe du soleil.
